Next year, your tuition will increase by 4.6

percent. On April 8, the Central Oregon Com-

munity College board of directors unanimously

voted to increase tuition for the 2015-16 aca-

demic year.

The decision to increase comes after COCC

went two years without seeing an increase in

tuition and fees. The proposed increase from

$87 per credit hour to $91 is expected to raise

around $600,000 in new tuition dollars, which,

according to Dean of Students Alicia Moore,

will be used to keep up the current level of ser-

vice to students and the current level of instruc-

tion.

In prior years, COCC was able to keep tui-

tion at the same level due in part to a monetary

grant the college received from the state of Or-

egon. However, this grant will not be available

for the upcoming 2015-16 school year, which

prompted school oficials to make decisions that would ultimately beneit faculty, adminis-

tration and students alike, according to Moore.

“It really is an incremental increase,” said

Moore. “It’s about $40 a quarter so that’s pretty

small in the grand scheme of things.”

The college’s decision to cut

classes from branch campus sched-

ules could be harming student suc-

cess.

Following a decrease in enroll-

ment at Central Oregon Community

College, ive classes were dropped from the Madras campus schedule

for spring term, according to Carrie

McCormick, enrollment ofice spe-

cialist at the Madras campus.

However, Madras campus enroll-

ment has not seen the effects of this

decrease in their student population,

according to McCormick.

“We are doing pretty well with

the student per class ratio, last year

we averaged 12.4 students per class

and this year we are averaging 12

students per class, so there really

isn’t that much difference,” McCor-

mick said.

COCC is an affirmative action, equal opportunity

institution.

Tim CachelinThe Broadside

In a shining exam-

ple of government bu-

reaucracy, the Oregon

Liquor Control Com-

mision has simulta-

neously screwed law

enforcement, recre-

ational marijuana us-

ers, taxpayers and law-abiding dispensary

owners.

You’ll be able to possess and smoke pot

come early July, but outside of growing it,

there is no way to legally procure weed until

late 2016.

According to Measure 91, best known as

the recreational pot bill, applications to sell

and produce marijuana will not be available

until Jan 4, 2016. These applications won’t

be processed until late 2016. So essentially,

for the year and a half between when weed is

legalized, and when dispensaries can legally

sell it, the OLCC is insuring that a projected

25.5 to 40 million in tax revenue goes directly

into the coffers of the black market.

Regardless of whether or not you sup-

port recreational marijuana use, this a huge

bureaucratic mistake. If you can remember

back, a huge piece of the “consolation prize”,

was that pot was going to be taxed, and that

that tax revenue was going to schools, law

enforcement and mental health. Estimates

state that the Bend’s allotment of the educa-

tion portion will be enough to hire 16 full time

teachers.

In fact, the taxation of marijuana in Colo-

rado has been so successful, that Colorado

might be forced to refund 30 million in mari-

juana tax revenue, thanks to a bill passed in

1992 called The Taxpayers Bill of Rights,

which puts a cap on the amount of tax rev-

enue the state can collect. OLCC is insuring

that our potential revenue can only be found

lining the pockets of those who sell marijuana

under the table.

Dispensaries are capable of selling recre-

ational marijuana today. According to Kevin

Fehrs, owner and operator of The Good Leaf

Organic Collective, a local medical marijuana

dispensary, all he would need to do is apply a

tax in the point of sale system, and he would

be good to go. There is worry about the ori-

gins of marijuana, but he also adds that the

average dispensary grows at least 80 percent

of its own product, and has a very good idea

of where the other 20 percent is coming from.

It’s not that the systems aren’t in place to sell

recreationally today, but rather for whatever

reason, OLCC has decided, in some ill-con-

ceived effort, to attempt to put off the inevi-

table.

According to Measure 91, the selling of

marijuana will be illegal for the next year and

half, but the gifting of marijuana is okay. So

where does that line get drawn? Perhaps a

dealer and a customer exchange ‘gifts’? How

is law enforcement supposed to combat such

a gaping loophole, let alone prosecute anyone

who is committing a crime that will be obso-

lete in matter of a year or two?

In one incredible oversight, or perhaps

through deliberate bureaucratic stupidity, the

state government and OLCC, has tied law-

enforcement’s hands, screwed taxpayers,

hampered law-abiding dispensary owners and

funded dealers instead of education to the tune

of 40 million dollars. Nice work guys.

LocalCOCC student scholars

Central Oregon Community Col-lege students John Fernelius and Lisa D. Mathishave been chosen as COCC’s members of the 2015 All-Oregon Academic Team.

As a 27-year-old high school dropout with a GED, Fernelius didn’t have the confidence to at-tend college. So he started with one class and gradually increased his course load. He found that he was fascinated by history and now his goal is to teach history at the high school or college level. As an additional benefit, college has helped him discover his potential for leadership, and he serves as president of the college’s Histori-cal Club. He plan to attend Oregon State University-Cascades Campus.A mother of five and a state-registered childcare provider for 23 years, Mathis started back to school one class at a time. She is working on her associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and plans to earn her bachelor’s degree in social services at OSU-Cascades Campus. She volunteers with the PTA and Boy Scouts. Mathis is con-sidering several career options: social services, as a state licensing specialist or perhaps as a higher education instructor.

Organized by the Oregon Com-munity College Association, the award recognizes community col-lege students for their academic achievement, leadership and ser-vice.Representatives of all of Or-egon’s 17 community colleges will participate in the event.

At the end of April, the students will attend a luncheon in their hon-or and meet with Governor Brown at the state capitol. Each scholar is eligible for a scholarship from most of Oregon’s public and pri-vate four-year institutions if they apply and are accepted at their school of choice.

KPOV heads into their 10th year

on the airKPOV, the only non-profit pub-lic radio station originating from Bend OR recently celebrated their 10th anniversary of being on air. All original programming was pro-duced by volunteer local DJs, as it still is today.KPOV was the first low-power FM station in the country to move to full power to reach most of Cen-tral Oregon. Recently, KPOV began a daily local affairs show, The Point, hosted by Central Oregonians and focusing on local issues, events, and happenings.

“While we have grown and

branched out, KPOV has also stayed true to our roots. More than 10 of KPOV’s earliest local music shows continue to anchor our di-verse schedule. We still focus on engaging our community in creat-ing high quality radio program-ming for Central Oregon.,” said Pearl Stark, KPOV station manager.

KPOV is a listener-supported, volunteer-powered, nonprofit community radio station that broadcasts at 88.9 FM and live on the web at kpov.org. High Desert Community Radio offers locally-produced programs not heard on any other radio stations in the area, including civic affairs, election cov-erage, and the most diverse music programming in Central Oregon.

Skier dies on Mt. Bachelor

A 29-year-old Bend skier died on Mt. Bachelor on April 30, despite life-saving efforts, officials said.

Peter Sky was on the Leeway run when he lost control and hit a tree, according to Deschutes County sheriff ’s Sgt. Ronny Dozier, Search and Rescue operations manager.

Ski patrol members brought Sky down the mountain, where they were met by Bend Fire Department medics, who took over life-saving measures without success.

Sheriff ’s deputies were en route when they were informed the skier had succumbed to his injuries.

Dozier said Sky was wearing ap-propriate gear, including a helmet, but that due to the nature of the significant injuries, he did not sur-vive, according to officials.Fate of COCC’s Bobcat Radio

hangs in the balance

A proposal submitted to Cen-tral Oregon Community College’s President’s Advisory Team (PAT) seeking approval and $25,000 for COCC’s KXBC-LPFM Bobcat Radio station and affiliated media arts and speech classes was denied on April 27, according to COCC Speech and Writing Professor Jon Bouk-night.

So far, funding has only been denied for the remainder of the 2014-2015 academic year, empha-sized Bouknight. However, it is still unknown whether overall approv-al for the radio station – which is required since COCC holds the Fed-eral Communications Commission construction permit – and its fund-ing will be approved for next year.

Despite this setback, the contin-ued relevancy of radio and student interest have kept Bouknight fight-ing to give COCC its first modern, student-run radio station.

“I will not give up trying be-cause I believe radio will continue into the digital age and even evolve

with Smart Radios and Transmit-ters,” said Bouknight.

Alongside Bouknight, COCC’s Media Arts Club students have been working hard for the radio station.

“I hope the students […] do not give up, but I can understand how this might be disappointing,” said Bouknight. “With their excellent attitudes and fresh ideas, they are the best part of the process. And the ‘process’ itself is good experi-ence for dealing with large institu-tions.”

NationalBaltimore police release rioters

Baltimore police released than half of the over 200 people they arrest-ed during riots early last week, ac-cording to a Fox News report.

According to Fox News, Mary-land Governor Larry Hogan at-tempted to keep the individuals while sorting out which officers had arrested which suspects and for what reasons but no headway was made.

The riots were sparked by the death of Freddie Gray who died in police custody on April 21.

On May 1, Baltimore’s chief prosecutor charged six Baltimore police officers with crimes of mur-der and manslaughter, according to the NY times and the Associated Press.

InternationalNepal earthquake strands

villages

The April 25 Nepal earthquake that killed at least 6,300 people and in-jured nearly double that as of May 1, has blocked aid from some of the countrys largest villages. Moun-tain villages such as Keura near the quake’s epicenter have been cut off from supplies and aid after landslides blocked the main roads in the village.

In Kathmandu, search and res-cue teams have refused to give up on finding more people in the rub-ble, according to CNN. Nineteen of the Nepal earthquake deaths oc-curred on Mount Everest due to deadly avalanches triggered by the quake.

The Nepal earthquake also pos-sibly made Mt. Everest a little taller or shorter, according to research-ers in a National Geographic re-port.

Geophysicists had warned for years that Nepal was vulnerable to a large earthquake due to it’s geol-ogy and architecture, according to the report.

Madras Classes: continued from page 1

For Kim King, a COCC student who lives in Ma-

dras, commuting to Bend or Redmond for class creates

a challenge.

“I have health problems, but usually it does not

stop me from attending college - until this spring term

when fewer classes were offered at the Madras cam-

pus,” King said. “ I just can’t do the drive to go to

other campuses and I rely heavily on the classes that

can be brought to Madras.”

John Chavez, academic advisor for COCC, works

with many of the students who attend the Madras

Campus said,

“Since there are fewer classes offered this spring,

students are having to attend other campuses or on-

line,” Chavez said, “I have seen a big increase this

spring in students taking classes online.”

Due to cost, it is often dificult for students who primarily attend class at the Madras Campus to come

to Redmond or Bend, according to Chavez.

“It is harder for students who usually attend [class-

es] in Madras since it is harder for them to ind trans-

portation to get to the other campuses,” Chavez said,

“whether it is a family member transporting them,

or riding the CET bus system, which costs $60 for a

monthly pass to multiple cities.”

A ten-year freeze on Pell Grant funding could limit

student inancial aid. The freeze was proposed by the United States

House Budget Committee and would “freeze the max-

imum Pell Grant at $5,775 for ten years,” according to

the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

“The grant amount actually increased from last

year to this year,” said Tyler Hayes from Central Or-

egon Community College’s inancial aid department. “Under current law,

the maximum grant at

$5,775 per student per

year for the 2015/2016

school year is scheduled

to rise with inlation to roughly $6,000 by

2017,” according to the

Center on Budget and

Policy Priorities.

“The Pell Grant pro-

gram is an important

resource,” said Kevin

Multop, director of i-

nancial aid at COCC.

President Barack Obama would still have to ap-

prove this proposal and, according to Multop, this is

unlikely.

“I can’t imagine our current president signing off

on any cuts,” said Multop. “These talks, they seem to

come up on a yearly basis. It seems like there is al-

ways a lot of talk around cuts. You never know how

these things will turn out or what the house will end

up doing. If the proposal is to cap it, to keep it level for

ten years was approved, we would see that as a major

setback for our students.”

Tuition increase: Continued from page 1

Even with the increase, COCC will

remain at the third most affordable

college option in comparison to other

larger universities and other commu-

nity colleges in Oregon, according to

Moore.

The revenue that will come from the

increase - aside from helping the col-

lege cover normal, everyday expenses

- is expected to help fund many of the

on-going adult-learner programs that

were brought forth by the newly cre-

ated internal budgetary process.

“[The internal budgetary process]

reviewed all the requests from across

the college and prioritizes those request

to the president and then the president

approves where those budget expenses

go,” Moore explained, “

A substantial amount of the new

budget dollars will go toward programs

that help the English language learning

program and programs assisting stu-

dents who have a low skill set obtain

adult basic skills and gainful employ-

ment, according to Moore.

Concerns over a tuition

increase

Increasing tuition gradually over a

larger period of time is generally bet-

ter than having one large increase in 20

years, according to Moore.

In discussing increasing tuition

rates, the board also considered if the

decision could deter prospective stu-

dents from enrolling. According to Ron

Paradis, COCC director of college rela-

tions, this will not be the case.

“History has not given us any indi-

cation that the level of tuition would

have an impact on enrollment,” Para-

dis said. “We can’t prove that it doesn’t

have any impact. But we certainly see

that some of the larger tuition increases

were the times where our enrollment

was going up the most.”

Paradis points out that in order for

COCC to keep offering the same high

quality standard of instruction, tuition

has to go up to enable the school to hire

more staff.

“[As is the trend] when enrollment

is down, we get less money and so we

also need fewer part-time faculty. We

look at a number of things and decide

what it is we want to do to provide the

quality of education,” said Paradis.

“One of them is what percent of the

courses are taught by full-time faculty

versus part-time faculty.”

Both Moore and Paradis said the

tuition increase was not at all related

to expenses accumulated through two

presidential searches and the Vice

President of Instruction leaving while

continuing to be paid.

“These aren’t factors that inluenced the decision to increase tuition,” said

Moore. “In terms of the Vice President

of instruction leaving or the second

presidential search that amounted to

nothing, we have a budget of more than

$40 million to work with and those two

elements combined are about a point

zero percent in expenditures of the en-

tire budget.”

OSU President rallies support for new Bend CampusKelli PangleThe Broadside

The future of Bend’s new four-year

campus was the main topic at the annual

State of the University Address.

At the $20 per head dinner attended by

nearly 400 community members and OSU

alumni, OSU President Edward Ray dis-

cussed the need for community support

and the plans for the new four-year uni-

versity in Bend.

“I expect us to prevail,” said Ray when

asked about the current delays with the

Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals deci-

sion regarding the Truth in Site organiza-

tion’s opposition to the proposed location

on Bend’s West Side and was optimistic

that this setback would only be a small

blip in the larger history of the university.

“You know, 30 years from now, nobody

is going to care when the irst building opened,” said Ray. “As anxious as many

of us may be or as frustrated as some may

be, in the long history of what I know will

be accomplished here, this is a footnote to

a very extraordinary future.”

However, he was adamant that the citi-

zens of Bend step up and show their sup-

port for the university.

“This is not a spectator sport,” said

Ray. “If you aspire to have your own four-

year college or university for 30 years, get

off your hands and make it happen. It’s not

going to happen if you don’t […] and it re-

ally depends on the people here.”

Looking to the future, Ray discussed

the university’s plans for region-speciic developments across the state – such as

the proposed new $50 million marine

studies campus in Newport and the new

wood manufacturing research lab in Cor-

vallis that is hoped to revitalize Oregon’s

timber industry – and plans to offer simi-

larly unique courses and programs that

are speciic to the demand of Central Or-egon’s students and economy.

“You want to have programs there that

speaks to the needs of the region and the

city and really provide people with the

skills to be successful in central Oregon,”

said Ray. “This needs to become a desti-

nation of choice as a campus, just as Bend

is a destination of choice for people who

appreciate quality living circumstances.

The two ought to be complementary to

each other.”

For the second year, stu-

dents had the opportunity to

give input and ask questions to

the future student leaders.

The Associated Students

of Cascades Campus council

members are hired by a com-

mittee instead of by student

election; however, at a pre-

hiring forum, the campus com-

munity had a chance to give

feedback.

The forum was created last

year to give students a voice

in the hiring process. Seven

ASCC applicants spoke at the

forum and addressed a vari-

ety of needs facing the student

body.

Each of the seven candi-

dates had an opportunity to in-

troduce themselves and let the

forum attendees know what

their goals would be if elected

to the council.

One of the topics the can-

didates were asked was how

they would better improve

relations between Central Or-

egon Community College and

OSU-Cascades.

“Clubs are trying really

hard to work together; that

would bridge the gap and

[would allow] the schools to

collaborate,” said Rylea Erick-

son who applied for legislative

director.

Camara Bedell-Stiles, who

applied for ASCC president,

said: “I want to have it known

that ASCC is out there in the

student body, this will im-

prove things and their visions

for COCC and OSU.”

In addition to discuss-

ing how they would bridge

the gap between COCC and

OSU-Cascades, candidates

discussed increasing events

and activities on campus to

improve student involvement

and success.

Each of the candidates also

discussed helping to create a

more diverse campus as well

as increasing ASCC’s presence

in the campus community.

OSU-Cascades: ASCC candidates in the hotseat

Meet the ASCOCC candidates

Lee Heckman

has been involved

with ASCOCC since

starting at COCC.

Heckman is cur-

rently the assistant

for organizations and

events and applied for vice president of

student affairs.

While working in student govern-

ment, Heckman noticed that there is

a lot of money available for students

that is not being used. Speciically, he is interested in making the Professional

Development Fund known to depart-

ment heads so that they can, in turn,

inform their students about it.

When Heckman considered running

for Vice President of Student Affairs, he

said: “I didn’t think I would be able to put

my name up all over campus saying,

‘Vote for Lee.’ I don’t want to tell people

who they should vote for.”

Because of his experience, Heck-

man said he would be able to jump right

into the position.

Conner Westover

applied for ASCOCC

president. Westover

has been working

as the ASCOCC co-

ordinator of student

organizations and

has gained leadership experience in

that role.

“I’ve gotten to meet a lot of people

from all walks of life. I have a general

understanding of what people want. I

feel like I would be a great person to

represent a lot of the voices on cam-

pus,” said Westover.

Westover is currently a business

major, but said he will soon switch over

to computer science. Westover believes

his interest in computers would carry

over to the ASCOCC president position.

He has observed that the COCC ofices do not take full advantage of its website

or digital resources. His goal is to update

the ofices and move away from using as much paper.

In the end, Westover is mostly

interested in “taking things one day at a

time” and making people feel close to

the school.

After Jorilynn Mess-

ner realized that the stu-

dent council is “right up

her alley,” she decided to

run for vice president for

Legislative Affairs.

Messner is majoring

in Anthropology with a minor in Political

Science. She has long been interested

in the different workings of government

and would eventually like to work with

the United Nations. Vice President for

Legislative Affairs is a chance for her to

learn more through experience.

Messner already has many ideas

and goals for this coming year. She

would like to give other students more

opportunities to get involved in politics

and wants to promote an app system

called LiveSafe, which is a mobile app

for college campuses that has many

uses. LiveSafe is mostly for reporting

crimes and suspicious behavior to col-

lege authorities or the police.

Jorilynn Messner said she is looking

forward to implementing these ideas.

“One of my talents is to learn really

fast and get a lot done. I’m deinitely not one to beat around the bush,” said

Messner.

Students interested in a career in health-

care or the medical ield may want to con-

sider a job as a caregiver.

According to executive director of As-

pen Ridge, Bryan Canahan, caregiving “provides a lot

of real world experience for

those in nurs-

ing.”

Careg iv ing facilities such as

Aspen Ridge are

willing to work with a variety of different sched-

ules including

the schedules

of part-time and

full-time students. Aspen Ridge is continu-

ously hiring due to a high turnover rate, ac-

cording to Canahan. Current caregiver and COCC student

Kyle Davenport, “it’s not an easy job and it does take a certain kind of person but if you’re the right kind of person for it, it’s very rewarding.”

While there are plenty of people out there looking to ind a job for the sole purpose of paying the bills, these types of workers do not make it past the irst 90 days at Aspen Ridge, according to Canahan. The way Canahan sees it, Aspen Ridge is “hotel resort with long term residents.”

Sherie Tews, 54, was manager at the Epcott Center at Walt Disney World and when she moved to Bend

she was con-

ident that she would be able to ind a job with a stronger focus

on the “hands on

helping of other

people rather

than the business

part of it”.

“Caregiving was my niche and I knew there were plenty of those jobs here,” Tews said.

On your mark, get set, go. A race might not be what you think of in relation to mathematics, but that is exactly what the regional math competition was.

On April 16, a select few high school students participated in the 37th annual Central Oregon Community College Magical Math Skills compe-

tition. The top two students from each high school math class in Central Oregon were invited to come to compete in math races ranging from pre-algebra

through calculus, according to Donna Raymond, an Associate Professor of Mathematics at COCC.

“The competition helps bring students together and get them excited about the subject in a com-

petitive environment,” Raymond said. “Encouraging the math students to have fun and

enjoy is one of the main goals that the instructors and professors try to promote,” Raymond said.

This year, Raymond had a personal reason for her interest in the competition. Raymond’s daugh-

ter, Claire Raymond qualified as a freshman to

compete for Summit High School.

“It made it more exciting for me since my daughter qualified and it made her self-confidence level come way up,” Raymond said.

There were a number of events throughout the day. Some included quizzes in certain categories, and there was a scavenger hunt along with a relay

race where students of the different schools race against each other. Students would run down to a table, answer a math question and race back to tag their teammate.

Rebecca Christeansen, a sophomore from Sum-

mit High, participated in the race for the first time

this year. For her, the event was both “fun and nerve wracking.”

“It was not as challenging during the morning quiz as I thought it would be,” Christeansen said.

Christeansen was one of only two sophomores selected for the competition, according to Fred

Christeansen, Rebecca Christeansen’s father. “She rocks when it comes to Math and she is

seriously smart,” Christeansen said.Charlie Naffziger, Chair of the Math Depart-

ment at COCC, passed out the awards at the end of the competition. In addition to trophies and certificates, the top winners were given entrance to the state competition later in May.

Thanks to cadets, Campus Safety response

times have decreased.

The cadet program has assisted in both

crime prevention and response times,

according to cadet coordinator, Chris March.

“Sometimes we have one oicer and three cadets, so the cadets can take lower level

calls while the oicer can focus on higher priority calls,” said March, who is also a

Central Oregon Community College Campus

Safety Oicer.

CCadets improve Campus Safety response time

Four years ago, the cadet program was

started by former Cadet Coordinator, Christina

Blake, with one goal in mind: Giving criminal

justice majors hands on experience in the ield. “The program helps get students involved in

the department and college,” March said. “It re-

ally gets them thinking about criminal justice.” According to March, the program helps

students apply what they learn in class to real

world experiences as well as know what law

enforcement training will be like.Cadets typically are recruited from the

COCC criminal justice program and from re-

cruiting events such as club information fairs

on campus.Once they have found potential cadets, they

go through an application process and back-

ground check like any other job. After the back-

ground check is cleared, they meet with March

for a face-to-face interview to determine if they

are right for the program.Once chosen, cadets must go through eighty

hours of basic training academy where March,

along with other oficers, do veracious presen-

tations. The presentations give cadets the basic knowledge and understanding of the Public

Safety profession. They receive hands on train-

ing after they have successfully learned and re-

tained the information and material. Academy days are held on Fridays where cadets are re-

quired to put in six hours per Friday for the irst three weeks.

Following those three weeks, Cadets are en-

couraged to put in two hours extra a week for

a ride along. Once they have completed acad-

emy training, they must ind six hours a week to come in and work. This can be broken up throughout the week but they must have a mini-

mal time of two hours a day or do the full six

hours in one day.After training, cadets are able to assist with

tasks such as parking monitoring, which has

helped the department reduce response times to

more urgent calls, according to March.

Currently, four students are employed as ca-

dets with the department and often times cadets

are able to move up into oficer positions, ac-

cording to March. In total, four former cadets have been hired for regular wage jobs and two

promoted to full time with the Campus Safety

department. In addition to the possibility of future job opportunities, cadets receive experi-

ence toward their CJ 280 class and are able to

get professional references. Cadets also have the opportunity to have their DPSST Unarmed

Security Certiicate paid for which allows them to be licensed as a security professional.

Don Doughty, COCC’s Crime Prevention

Oficer, is one of the many oficers who guides cadets.

“We have future plans to kick off the program

on all four campuses,” Doughty said. “Hopeful-ly, with more openings in the program,we grow

enough to have cadets help recruit students.”

“The program helps get students involved in

the department and college. It really gets them

thinking about criminal justice.” -Chris March, cadet coordinator

THANKS TO OUR DISTRIBUTERS

how to guide for everything.

Brayan’s

Brayan GonzalezThe Broadside

Leaving home for the irst time can be one of the most terrifying and excit-

ing experiences.

We get to inally be independant and make our own decisions and more often than not, our own mis-

takes.We get to reinvent ourselves and start with a clean slate as if some-

one hit the reset button and suddenly

everything you did growing up and in high school doesn’t matter anymore.

However, is the midst of all this change and all this opportunities, as

still growing young adults we need to remember the person inside is what makes the world a difference.

For this issue of the Students Guide

for Everything, I will give you some tips on how to balance your new self while still keeping what makes you, you.

#1: Don’t be afraid to be sentimen-

tal: When September comes around

and you’re packing to leave for school, don’t be afraid to take with you the blanket, or teddy bear, or action ig-

ure or race car you had growing up. Take it as a memento to remind you of where you come from and where your roots are.

#2: It’s okay, take some time: When you’re inally out on your own, and you ind yourself feeling lost; take some time. Everyone knows moving and being on your own for the irst time is an adjustment. Take some time to get to a place where your comfort-able and okay with the situation and then go out and explore your new sur-rounding.

#3: No may be the way to go: We’ve all been there, we make new friends in a new area and then sud-

denly we ind ourselves going along with whatever they want just because we want to it it. Its okay to say no, and its okay to stop and not be part of the crowd.

#4: Be spontaneous: if you ind yourself with nothing to do, and you’re already at a place where you’re okay with being on your own. Be spontane-

ous and do something fun, its a great

way to loosen up and start to enjoy what it means to be growing up.

#5: Stay Connected: In today’s

world we have Skype, Facebook, Facetime and many other forms of

social media at our disposal. Don’t be

afraid to use them and stay connected

with family and friends. Nobody is go-

ing to judge you for calling your mom

for the simple reason that you wanted to talk to her.

Until next time, Just remember to

keep it safe, keep it fun and keep it classy, but above all remember to al-

ways Treat Yo Self!

Now, for the eighth entry in the se-

ries of Guy-code and Girl-code, The

guide to Today’s Young People:

#8: If you catch your girlfriend lirt-ing with another dude on purpose and in full awareness of you , you are permitted to go over to her mother’s

house 3 times a week and aimlessly lirt with her mother or her sisters until your girlfriend gets the point that is not

okay. #GUYCODE

#8: Look out for her before she makes a fool of herself in front of the entire world. This means telling her if she has lipstick on her teeth or food stuck in between them, hair looking like Simba from Lion King, skin ap-

pears dry, t-zone getting too oily, or

she has toilet paper stuck to her back side. #GIRLCODE

Now fellow Bobcats, if you have any suggestions for the next issue of

Students How to guide for everything, Or if you have any tips please send

me an email, until next time keep it classy.

The Bobcats season ends with a 5-8 loss.

On Saturday, April 18th, the Central Oregon

Community College Rugby team played their

last game of the season against the University

of Puget Sound. The game comes after the

team hosted the West Coast Regional Champi-

onship where the team failed to place among

the top team after being undefeated for most

of the season. The game played against UPS

was a championship game for the Northwest

Cup.

“Whoever wins today, has to travel next

week to Spokane Washington for the cham-

pionship,” explained Coach Woody Bennett.

If the Bobcats had won the match against

UPS they would had traveled to play for the

cup, sadly, this was not case and playing at the

Mazama field proved to not add home advan-

tage to the team.

However, COCC rugby has only been in

place for 3 years and in that short time they

have come so far according to Coach Bennett.

“We hosted the west coast regionals a couple

weeks back, three California teams came here.

And today, we’re playing for the Northwest cup,

It amazing. What can you say except to look and

praise how how hard they’ve [the team] worked.

I’m extremely proud of them.” said Bennett

Coach Bennett praises his team in since they

have proven themselves time and time again and

have complied with every requirement asked of

them.

“I can’t tell you how proud I am of these guys,

they’ve done everything the coaching staff has

asked of them,” Bennett said. “They get better ev-

ery week. This is our third year with the program

and look how far we’ve come, we can only go up

from here.”

Sadly, as the game wore on the Bobcats lost

their lead after UPS scored bringing their season

to end on a 5-8 loss against UPS. Though the

Bobcats did not manage to get the cup, hopefully

we’ll see them again next season ready to prove

what COCC and the community of Bend is made

off.

After dramatic season, rugby

team looks to the future

Alyssa HeymanThe Broadside

Whenever parkour would pass through my mind,

I would imagine people leaping from roof to roof top

doing crazy lips and jumping over things twice their height. I began to fancy myself as spiderman – spider-

woman, saving Bendites from danger in my spidey

suit.

I through on some exercise clothes and headed

out the door to this mysterious arena of parkourness

known as Smith Martial Arts. I expected to walk

through the door to ind myself in the company of super it parkour people ready to jump off something into a lip at any given moment. Being of small stature with very little arm strength, I’ll confess; I was intimi-

dated. Well, I’m already here, I thought, might as well

go in there and give it my best shot.

Welp. Here goes nothing!

There I stood, with the rest of the class of about 6

or 7, all different ages, shapes, sizes and skill levels.

The atmosphere had a light-hearted, humorous feel

to it. No judgment, just a gathering of people there

to learn or practice the sport of parkour. The instruc-

tors were friendly and humble. They assured us that

making mistakes or falling down is okay. One of them

even admitted to breaking quite a few toes, numerous

times… ouch! As they began to recall stories of the

falls they endured and the bones they had broken, I

cringed. They had endured pain I could not even fath-

om, yet there they stood, continuing to practice and

teach parkour…

They taught us how to jump further, land smoother and keep our balance. Easy enough, right?

Not for everyone. As most people know, what

comes easy to one person may not be a walk in the

park for the next.

I left Smith Martial Arts with a fresh perspective of

the outside world and myself, my capabilities. I had

faced yet another fear! Not even 3 days of sore mus-

cles from the fun, but vigorous exercise of parkour

could deter me from practicing this again; I wouldn’t

have traded my experience for the world.
